Redemption Jam

So as we prepared to head out for our weekend trip in A.C./Philly, we had a last minute idea for a tee design that we needed to make or it would bother us the whole ride.

Being the silly gamblers that we are, we thought this tee would be more than appropriate for our stay in A.C.

Now that we got that out the way we headed out with our first stop being in Manhattan for some Shake Shack burgers and to refill on our alcohol situation. Now, usually I would have my camera out flashing flix to document this event, looking real touristy,  but I was in a vacation state of mind and I couldn’t bring myself to even turn the camera on.

The rest of the ride was pretty entertaining. Nate & Spie pretty much argued the whole way down about who is more athletic & who can beat who at what. Nate’s arguement was that Spie wears glasses and Spie’s arguement was that Nate got, well, rounder.

The next morning we got up bright & early to leave A.C. and head out to Philly for the jam. Here is the part when I start putting the camera to some use.

Nate & Spie chillin’ outside, waiting for the greenlight for us to go in and set up.

Juni, from Problemz Kru, was in the house!! He was hosting the jam…so I guess he had to be in the house. Immediately I had to throw him an ILC tee. With the whole crowd looking at him, we couldn’ t lose.

At this point the floor got a little slippery and made it almost impossible to break on. So I’m not quite sure if this guy was breakin’ or actually took a pretty painful spill.

As I sat and watched the breakers form circles here and there, I couldn’t help but notice this guy step into the building. Still not sure if he was a “breaker’s  pimp” or just really cold.

I had to get a flic of this. This was right out the side door next to our booth where Nate & I chose to make our smoking section. I thought it was kinda funny.

Spie was trying to drill holes on this one.

The Red Bull chicks were in full effect, making sure everybody had their wings. Kinda crazy, all I ever wanted was a water…or a 40oz while I was breakin’. Things have changed.

And of course after sitting there for a couple of hours you know we had to get it in.

Shortly after we lost this tourney plus 3 more we decided to wrap it up and head back to A.C. where we could really spread our wings and get crazy.

November 13th ILC will be headed out to Brooklyn for yet another jam. This time we will have 40 FREE tees for the first people to come to our booth…after that we will be selling new & old tees for $5.00. Stay tuned for more info and sneak peaks at the new designs.

Peace out…BigCasOne.

A.C. Time Again

Every year the ILC crew finds any excuse to leave the wives behind and take that road trip to A.C. This year we found a pretty legitimate reason to hit our home…away from home.

Not too far down the road in Philly Extreme Kicks will be hosting their jam, Redemption, this Saturday with plenty of tables open for cats like us to display our tees on…and possibly sell a couple.

Unfortunately our trip to A.C. is going to be a little different from last year because of this recession that we are in. Instead of throwing around big bills, we will be throwing around rolled up change.

And instead of hitting the usual table games…probably going to have to take it slow and play the nickel slots with all my bottle return money.

In any event, we always like to design a special tee for whatever the occasion calls for. So seeing that we are about to be in Philly we hit the drawing board, came up with the an outline and the rest is about to be history.
